Ludvigsborg: Cycling and trails through Fulltofta

Those considering a stay in Ludvigsborg can plan around outdoor activities and an arts and crafts destination. A new cycling route runs between Ludvigsborg and Hörby through the Fulltofta recreation area and can be used on foot or by bicycle. The Skåneleden also passes through Fulltofta; the named Fiskestigen trail offers a different, clearly defined hiking option along the Kvesarumsån. In Ludvigsborg itself, Beckers gruva is one of the places to visit, with a gallery and arts and crafts offerings. Nature trails and a cultural destination therefore provide distinct focal points.

Cycling between Hörby and Ludvigsborg

The new cycle path runs from Hörby along the old railway embankment, past the Fulltofta Nature Centre, and then through the forest towards Ludvigsborg. For the most part, the route follows existing gravel and forest tracks through the Fulltofta recreation area. Minor improvements along the route make it easier to cycle or walk and improve accessibility. The surroundings are quiet and characterized by forest, nature and recreation areas. The route can also be walked between the two towns. Both the route between Hörby and Ludvigsborg and its course through the nature area are useful reference points when planning a day out.

Walking trails and rest stops

The 1.6-kilometre Fiskestigen follows the Kvesarumsån through older spruce forest and open beech forest. The surfaced gravel path also crosses an accessible wooden boardwalk. The Skåneleden also passes through the Fulltofta recreation area. This offers a choice of different types of trails: Fiskestigen is clearly defined by its length and its riverside and woodland setting, while the cycling route connects two towns. The stated length of Fiskestigen provides a clear reference point for planning a day out; for the route between Hörby and Ludvigsborg, the two towns and its course through Fulltofta provide orientation.

There are benches along Fiskestigen at intervals of about 200 metres. By the ponds, there are seating and barbecue areas, as well as a three-walled barbecue shelter with an opening facing the ponds. A nearby dry toilet has room for a wheelchair. The benches provide places to pause along the trail, while the seating and barbecue areas are by the ponds. This makes it possible to distinguish between rest stops along Fiskestigen and those at this particular section.

Fulltofta, fika and local attractions

The Fulltofta Nature Centre has maps and information about hiking and outdoor activities, as well as a café and exhibitions. The café offers takeaway fika. Since the cycling route passes the Nature Centre, this landmark lies directly along the route described. Maps, activity information and exhibitions complement the experience of the trail.

S:ta Magnhilds källa is also near the Fulltofta Nature Centre. S:ta Magnhild was one of Skåne’s most important local saints; the name of the spring connects it to this regional history. Another place to visit is Beckers gruva in Ludvigsborg, with a gallery and arts and crafts offerings. Those who want to shape their stay around more than trails and nature experiences will also find a connection here to local history and creative crafts.
